No, it doesn't come close to a cig brand. There is a problem that arises, especially for very heavy ex-smokers, when it comes to e-juice. It was 3 packs a day, nows its 6ml+ a day. Trying to vape that much chocolate, or mnt dew, or any other sweet type flavor as that rate gets real old...real fast. Some flavors I could vape heavily for a few weeks, but then got sick of it. Red bull was like this, I started my vaping life on Red Bull, and now I absolutely cannot stand the smell of the stuff after the years have gone by. I even threw away all the flavor bottles, lol. I needed something that I wouldnt get tired of, the way we never got tired of smoking the exact same brand of cigs for 20 years. DK-tab and East Coast Tobacco, were the only 2 flavors I could vape huge amounts of and never grow tired. East Coast I eventually steared away from because it tasted drasticly different depending on what I was vaping it with: dual coil, single coil, atty, RBA, ect.. DK-tab made the transition across all devises easy for me, and it has stuck for a very long time now. Also, it is generally strong stuff, use max 5% in my mixes.
Nothing out there tastes like burning tobacco, especially after your taste buds heal. A cig tastes the exact same as a 2 year old CE2 failomizer that has old juice in it.... its terrible.
